THE  MANUFACTURE  OF  DRAIN  TILE  IN  ILLINOIS. 


This  Bureau  having  been  called  upon  by  the  Illinois  Tile-Makers'. 
Association,  at  their  last  annual  convention,  for  statistics  of  drain 
tile  manufacture  in  Illinois,  and  recognizing  the  interest  and  impor- 
tance which  has  attached  of  late  years  to  this  comparatively  recent 
feature  both  of  agriculture  and  manufactures  in  this  State,  an  en- 
quiry has  been  instituted  with  a  view  to  procuring  such  informa- 
tion as  was  possible  on  this  subject. 

The  results  are  presented  herewith,  and  are  published  in  the 
present  form  in  advance  of  the  regular  report  of  this  Bureau,  in 
order  to  give  an  earlier  and  wider  distribution  to  the  information 
herein  contained,  among  those  who  are  specially  interested  in  it. 
So  far  as  it  has  been  possible* to  ascertain  there  has  been  no  com- 
pilation of  a  similar  scope  and  character  undertaken  or  made  in 
this  or  other  States,*  beyond  some  broad  estimate  of  a  general 
character,  which  in  the  absence  of  authoritative  figures  have  been 
accepted  as  facts.  There  are  also  comparatively  few  even  of  well  stocked 
libraries  which  "contain  any  assortment  of  valuable  works  on  the 
subject  either  of  the  manufacture  of  drain  tile,  or  the  science  of 
underground  drainage,  and  the  periodical  literature  devoted  to  these 
subjects  is  meagre  in  the  extreme.  There  is  accordingly  little  oppor- 
tunity afforded  either  for  comparisons  or  for  the  verification  of  the 
tables  here  compiled  with  established  data. 

The  following  exhibit  will,  however,  give  a  good  approximate  view 
of  the  progress  of  the  industry  of  tile  manufacture  in  this  State 
since  1875,  and  its  extent  and  character  at  the  beginning  of  the 
present  calendar  year.  The  information  on  which  these  tables  are 
based  has  been  procured,  first,  from  the  various  township  assessors 
of  the  State,  as  to  the  number,  name  and  address  of  each  tile  maker 
in  their  respective  towns ;  and  second,  from  the  makers  themselves 
as  to  the  character  and  product  of  their  respective  factories.  Com- 
pilations made  upon  data  furnished  by  so  great  a  number  of  per- 
sons must  necessarily  involve  some  elements  of  uncertainty,  but  as 
far  as  possible  these  have  been  reduced  to  the  minimum  by  the 
elimination  of  obscure  or  doubtful  returns.  In  regard,  however,  to 
the  number  of  factories  reported  to  us  by  the  assessors,  as  in  actual 
existence,  the  only  question  which  can  arise  is  as  to  whether  the 
whole  number  has  been  given.  The  presumption  is  that  some  have 
been  omitted,  and  that  the  whole  number  in  the  State  is  greater 
than  that  reported.  Our  revised  directory  embraces  now  536  fac- 
tories, although  at  the  time  of  making  the  tables  the  whole  number 
known  was  5£6,  and  the  estimates  for  the  State  will  be  found 
to  be  based   on   that    number.     In  general  it  is  a  fair  presumption 

*The  Bureau  of  Statistics  of  Indiana,  in  a  report  just  issued,  gives  a  table  of  387  tile  fac- 
tories in  that  State,  employing  $759,562  capital,  and  1,517  men.    Value  of  product  $1,133,515.

that  the  summaries  arrived  at  by  this  investigation  are  rather  too 
small  than  too  large.  In  regard  to  the  accuracy  of  the  returns  which 
have  been  made,  it  is  believed  that,  inasmuch  as  the  identity 
of  the  factories  is  obscured,  and  the  motives  for  exaggeration 
are  not  more  or  greater  than  those  for  an  underestimation,  the 
statements  made  may  be  accepted  as  practically  exact  and  reliable. 
Upon  an  examination  of  the  returns  from  township  assessors  it 
was  found  that  there  were  in  all  (at  that  time)  526  tile  factories, 'located 
in  about  four  hundred  towns  and  villages,  and  in  seventy-five  different 
counties  of  the  State.  These  526  tile  makers  were  each  addressed, 
and  a  certain  line  of  information  of  a  general  character  solicited, 
with  a  tender  of  blanks  and  postage  with  which  to  make  return. 
In  response,  330  manufacturers  made  specific  statements  to  the 
Bureau  as  to  their  date  of  establishment,  capital  invested,  the  num- 
ber and  wages  of  their  employes,  their  methods  of  manufacture  and 
of  drying,  the  amount  and  value-  of  their  product,  the  kinds  and 
quantities  of  fuel  consumed,  and  other  minor  items.  The  factories 
reported  were  of  all  kinds  and  sizes,  from  those  of  the  most  costly 
equipment  to  those  of  the  most  primitive  construction  and  limited 
capacity ;  and  it  was  assumed  that  those  failing  to  report  were 
equally  of  all  classes,  and  that  these  330  factories,  constituting  62 
per  cent,  of  the  whole,  were  a  fair  exponent  of  the  whole,  and  should 
be  so  considered.  Upon  these  returns,  consequently,  the  following 
tables  are  based,  and  the  summaries  for  the  State  are  deduced. 
These  in  brief  may  be  given  as  follows : 

Number  of  counties  in  which  drain  tile  is  manufactured 75 

Number  of  factories 536 

Amount  of  capital  employed $3, 794, 000  00 

Number  of  employes 5,495 

Amount  paid  in  wages  during  the  year $1,434,163  00 

Average  number  of  months  in  operation 7 

Whole  number  of  tile  made 176,962,821 

Total  cost  of  fuel $504,960  00 

Estimated  home  value  of  total  product 1 3, 960, 958  00 

A  noticeable  feature  illustrated  by  these  returns,  and  exhibited  in  de- 
tail by  Table  VI,  is  the  recent  rapid  growth  of  this  industry,  and  of  the 
practice  of  tile-drainage  which  that  growth  implies.  From  an  exam- 
ination of  the  dates  of  establishment  of  the  different  factories  it  is 
found  that  only  about  5  per  cent,  of  the  present  number  were  in 
operation  in  1875,  and  that  in  1880  there  was  only  32  per  cent,  of 
the  present  number,  then  in  existence ;  showing  that  the  really  great 
impetus  in  this  direction  has  been  developed  within  the  three  years 
last  past. 

The  distribution  of  these  factories  throughout  the  State  is  also  a 
consideration  of  interest,  and  somewhat  indicative  of  the  general 
character  of  the  surface. 

Neither  the  northern  nor  the  southern  extremities  of  the  State  have 
tile  factories,  the  former  being  a  naturally  rolling  country  and  the 
latter  more  generally  covered  with  timber.  On  the  other  hand  the 
great  central  portion  of  the  State,  especially  east  of  the  Illinois 
river,  has  in  round  numbers  about  four-fifths  of  all  the  tile  factories 
of  the  State.  This  district  embraces  what  is  known  as  the  corn  and 
wheat  belt,  and  is  distinguished  for  its  uniform  fertility.  The  great- 
est number  of  these  factories  is  found  in  that  group  of  counties 
lying   on   the    eastern   border  of   the  State,  in  the  neighborhood  of 


Vermilion  county.  In  six  of  these  counties  there  are  116  tile  facto- 
ries. The  greatest  number  in  a  single  county  is  found  in  La  Salle 
county,  which  has  '27.  Vermilion  county  has  26,  Edgar  22,  Iroquois, 
Champaign  and  Woodford  18  each,  McLean  17,  and  Douglas  and 
Coles  16  each,  while  almost  every  county  throughout  the  great  grain 
producing  districts  has  from  1  to  15.  That  there  is  a  demand  for 
still  others  at  many  points,  and  also  the  natural  facilities  for  estab- 
lishing them,  has  been  demonstrated  by  our  correspondence  on  the 
subject,  and  such  localities  as  are  in  need  of  the  factories  are  indicated 
on  a  subsequent  page. 

The  relative  magnitude  of  the  factories  already  in  operation,  as  indi- 
cated by  the  amount  of  capital  employed  and  the  amount  of  annual 
product,  is  fully  shown  in  the  tables.  From  these  it  appears  that  46 
per  cent,  of  the  whole  number  of  factories  employ  less  than  $5,000 
capital  each,  and  that  54  percent,  employ  more  than  that  sum.  Of  the 
latter  number  60  per  cent,  have  from  $5,000  to  $10,000  each  invested, 
20  per  cent,  have  from  $10,000  to  $15,000,  11  per  cent,  have  from 
$15,000  to  $25,000,  and  8  per  cent,  have  over  $25,000  each  invested 
in  the  plant  and  business.  Three  of  these  larger  establishments  are 
equipped  at  a  cost  of  $40,000  each,  three  at  a  cost  of  $50,000  each, 
one  at  a  cost  of  $70,000,  and  another  at  a  cost  of  $100,000. 

Measured  by  the  amount  of  their  manufactured  product,  there  are 
found  12  establishments  in  the  State  which  produced  from  1,000,000 
to  4,000,000  drain  tile  of  all  sizes  during  the  year  ending  January 
1,  1884.  Two  firms  in  McLean  county  produced  5.000,000,  two  in 
Will  county  produced  4,810,510,  one  in  Bock  Island  3,500,000,  one 
in  Warren  2,278,400,  while  Champaign,  Greene,  Grundy,  Logan,  Ma- 
con, Stark  and  Warren  counties  each  have  single  factories  producing 
a  million  or  more  tile  annually.  At  the  head  of  the  list  stands  the 
establishment  of  N.  B.  Heufer  &  Co.,  of  Bloomington,  with  a  re- 
ported annual  product  of  4.000,000.  The  next  in  order  is  the 
Argillo  W^orks,  of  Carbon  Cliff,  Bock  Island  county,  with  a  product 
of  3,500.000,  and  the  third  is  the  Monmouth  Mining  and  Manufac- 
turing Company,  showing  a  product  for  last  year  of  2,278,400. 

To  illustrate  what  sizes  of  drain  tile  are  principally  in  use  and 
demand,  a  table  has  been  prepared  showing  the  number  of  each  size 
made  by  184  factories  in  53  counties.  This  gives  16  sizes  ranging 
from  two  to  fourteen  inches  in  diameter.  By  far  the  greater  num- 
ber are  3,  4  and  5  inch  tile,  and  the  percentages  of  each  are  as  fol- 
lows :  Of  the  whole  number  made  29+  per  cent,  is  4  inch  tile, 
24+  per  cent,  is  3  inch,  and  16+  per  cent,  is  5  inch  tile,  while  the 
remaining  31 —  per  cent,  is  divided  irregularly  among  the  larger 
sizes — very  few  smaller  than  3  inch  being  made.  Of  the  6,  7,  and 
8  inch  there  are  about  23  per  cent,  of  the  whole,  while  the  10  and 
12  inch  sewer  pipe  constitute  about  6  per  cent  of  the  whole. 

We  find  also  upon  an  examination  of  the  character  of  these  tile 
factories  that  77  per  cent,  of  them  are  using  steam  power  for  manu- 
facturing, and  steam  for  drying  the  product,  the  remainder  being 
the  more  primitive  establishments  operated  by  horse  power  and 
dependent  upon  open  air  drying.  When,  however,  the  relative  pro- 
duct of  these  two  classes  of  factories  is  considered,  it  is  found  that 
the  steam  factories  produce  92  per  cent,  of  all  the  tile  made,  so 
that  it  is  practically  a  steam  industry  and  is  doubtless  becoming 
more  so  in  reality  every  year.

This  fact  leads  to  the  consideration  of  the  kind  and  quantity,  and 
the  cost  of  the  fuel  which  this  hranch  of  manufacture  requires.  A 
subsequent  table  will  show  that  the  actual  consumption  of  fuel  dur- 
ing the  past  year  by  268  steam  factories  was  119,406  tons  of  coal 
at  an  average  cost  of  $2.10  per  ton,  and  19,501  cords  of  wood  at 
an  average  cost  of  $2.46  per  cord,  or  a  total  cost  for  these  factories 
of  $200,378  for  the  fuel  necessary  to  make  101,302,228  tile,  or  an 
an  average  of  $2.96  per  thousand.  The  average  cost  of  fuel  per 
thousand  tile  for  the  whole  330  factories  of  all  kinds  is  $2.88. 

The  probable  total  cost  of  fuel, — the  amount  annually  disbursed 
in  the  State  by  tile  makers  for  the  most  part  to  coal  men, — is  some- 
what over  half  a  million  dollars. 

The  statistics  of  employes  and  of  wages  will  be  found  in  Table  II. 
Labor  in  this  industry  is  for  the  most  part  unskilled,  and  these  tile 
works  are  usually  established  and  carried  on  in  small  towns  in  rural 
communities — where  labor  can  be  had  at  about  farm-hand  rates— 
and  where  the  cost  of  living  is  at  a  minimum.  We  consequently 
find  that  for  laborers  the  average  wages  paid  is  $33  a  month. 

For  burners,  however,  who  must  possess  some  special  skill  and 
experience,  the  average  pay  is  $47  a  month,  and  the  range  is 
from  $32,  the  pay  of  a  common  laborer,  to  $60  in  the  county 
averages,  although  there  are  instances  in  which  individual  burners 
in  the  larger  establishments  receive  as  high  as  $75  and  $80,  and 
in  one  factory  a  head-burner  or  foreman  of  kilns  receives  $90  a 
month. 

The  wages  of  engineers  vary  of  course  with  the  character  of  the 
work  and  of  the  machinery  with  which  they  are  entrusted.  The 
ultimate  average  for  the  State  is  $43  a  month,  though  an  exam- 
ination of  the  tables  will  indicate  that  from  $50  to  $60  is  the  prob- 
able pay  of  skilled  engineers.  The  wages  of  foremen,  where  such 
are  employed,  depend  almost  wholly  upon  their  peculiar  qualifica- 
tions and  the  degree  of  their  responsibility.  The  highest  salary  re- 
ported for  this  service  is  $200  a  month,  while  in  small  establish- 
ments where  the  proprietor  is  his  own  foreman  the  figures  given  are 
merely  nominal,  and  serve  only  to  reduce  the  general  average,  which 
is  only  $53. 

The  whole  number  of  men  employed  in  tile  making  is  found  to  be 
5,425,  and  the  aggregate  amount  disbursed  annually  in  wages  is 
$1,434,163  for  an  average  of  seven  months  work.  This  average  of 
the  number  of  months'  in  which  these  factories  were  in  operation 
last  year  is,  however,  very  much  less  than  would  appear  in  subse- 
quent years,  owing  to  the  fact  that  40  per  cent,  of  the  factories  re- 
ported were  started  during  the  year  for  which  they  make  returns, 
and  many  of  them  had  barely  commenced  operations.  These  more- 
over, almost  without  exception,  are  the  better  class  of  factories, 
equipped  with  improved  machinery  and  appliances,  and  designed  to 
operate,  if  necessary,  continuously  throughout  the  year. 

This  presentation  of  the  statistics  of  this  youngest  industry  in  the 
State  is  designedly  confined  to  the  manufacture  rather  than  the  use 
of  drain  tile.  The  advantages  arising  from  the  use  of  tile  on  lands 
of  almost  every  kind  are  abundantly  demonstrated  and  generally 
recognized ;  and   it  is   of   course  the   economic  value  of  drainage  in 


agriculture  which  has  given  rise  and  prosperity  to  the  business  of 
tile  making.  The  manufacture  itself  has,  however,  attained  an  impor- 
tance of  its  own  as  a  new  element  in  the  industrial  prosperity  of 
the  State,  aside  from  its  results  upon  the  productiveness  of  the  soil. 
This  view  of  tile  manufacture  in  Illinois  is  presented  here,  and  the 
fact  is  brought  to  light  that  within  a  period  virtually  of  about  five 
years,  over  three  millions  of  capital  has  found  employment  in  this 
industry ;  that  by  it  about  6,000  men  directly  and  many  more  indi- 
rectly, have  been  given  new  work  and  wages ;  that  it  has  stimulated 
both  mining  and  transportation,  and  given  a  new  impetus  to  the 
local  trade  of  over  four  hundred  of  the  towns  and  villages  of  the 
State  in  which  its  factories  have  been  established.  In  view  of  the 
claim  made  by  agriculturists  that  the  judicious  use  of  drain  tile 
increases  the  productiveness  of  average  Illinois  land  at  least  25  per 
cent.,  and  of  the  fact  that  such  possibilities  have  only  of  late  years 
become  known,  and  of  the  further  consideration  that  a  vast  propor- 
tion of  the  State  is  susceptible  to  this  improvement  by  this  method, 
it  is  not  too  much  to  expect  such  a  continuous  and  increasing  de- 
mand for  drain  tile  as  shall  establish  the  permanence  and  pros- 
perity of  this  industry,  and  very  largely  extend  its  field  of  operations. 


Table  I. 


Table  I  affords  a  comprehensive  summarized  view  of  all  the  facts 
brought  out  by  the  returns  made  to  this  office  aggregated  by  counties. 
The  subsequent  tables  form  a  more  specific  analysis,  the  items  in 
the  first  table  being  supplemented  by  information  of  a  character 
which  renders  possible  a  fuller  comparison  than  can  be  shown  in  a 
table  which  is  simply  a  recapitulation. 

This  table  contains  a  statement  of  the  number,  of  factories  in  each 
county  from  which  returns  have  been  received,  the  amount  of  capi- 
tal invested,  the  number  of  employes,  the  average  monthly  wages 
paid  to  each  class,  the  total  amount  paid  during  the  year  for  labor, 
and  the  number  of  months  in  operation,  the  number  of  kilns,  the 
kind  of  power  used,  the  methods  of  manufacture  and  drying,  the 
whole  number  of  tile  made  and  its  value,  together  with  the  kind 
and  amount  of  fuel  used  in  the  respective  factories,  its  average  value 
per  ton  or  cord,  and  its  total  cost.  It  appears  from  this  presenta- 
tion that  the  330  factories  from  which  replies  were  received  have  an 
aggregate  capital  invested  of  $2,381,751,  that  they  employ  3,412 
hands,  that  the  total  amount  of  wages  paid  during  1883  was  $882, 
960,  that  the  total  cost  of  fuel  was  $316,921  and  that  the  total  pro- 
duct is  109,836,393  tile,  the  value  of  which  was  $2,459,662.

Table  II. 

Table  II  relates  entirely  to  the  compensation  of  employes.  It 
shows  the  number  of  factories  making  reports  in  each  county,  with 
the  whole  number  of  employes  reported,  the  whole  number  of  fac- 
tories in  each  county  and  the  total  number  of  employes,  the  latter 
item  being  computed  by  ascertaining  the  average  number  of  employes 
in  the  reporting  factories  in  each  county,  and  by  multiplying  the 
same  by  the  whole  number  of  factories  known  to  be  in  operation  in 
that  county.  It  also  shows  the  average  monthly  wages  paid  to  each 
of  the  lour  classes  of  employes,  viz :  foremen,  engineers,  burners, 
and  common  laborers,  the  average  number  of  months  in  operation 
for  all  the  reporting  factories  in  each  county,  the  total  amount  of 
wages  reported  to  have  been  paid,  and  a  computation,  based  on  the 
latter  item,  of  the  whole  amount  of  wages  estimated  to  have  been 
paid  by  all  the  factories  of  each  county  and  the  State. 

It  appears  from  this  table,  assuming  the  estimates  therein  to  be 
fairly  made,  that  the  whole  number  of  workmen  employed  at  ihe 
526  factories  known  to  have  been  in  operation  in  1883  was  5,495, 
and  that  the  whole  amount  of  wages  paid  reached  the  sum  of 
$1,434,163,  being  an  average  per  factory  of  $2,726.  The  largest 
number  of  persons  employed  at  any  one  factory  is  100,  the  smallest 
3,  and  the  average  number  per  factory  a  fraction  over  10. 

In  regard  to  the  wages  paid  to  employes,  even  of  the  same  class, 
a  great  disparity  exists.  The  monthly  compensation  of  foremen 
varies  from  $30  to  $90,  that  of  engineers  from  $31  to  $60,  that  of 
burners  from  $31  to  $65,  and  the  pay  of  ordinary  laborers  from  $18 
to  $40.  The  average  wages  paid  these  four  classes  are,  respectively, 
to  foremen  $53  per  month,  to  engineers  $43,  to  burners  $47,  and  to 
laborers  $33. 

An  examination  of  the  figures  shows  that  while  18  factories  were 
running  for  periods  of  only  two  to  four  months  in  the  year,  others 
were  operated  as  "winter  factories,"  that  is,  their  facilities  for  drying 
were  such  as  to  admit  of  their  working  the  year  round.  Still  the 
average  number  of  months  worked  by  all  the  factories  was  only  7.

Table  III  has  reference  specially  to  the  character  of  the  various 
establishments  and  the  methods  made  use  of  both  in  making  and 
drying. 

It  shows  the  number  of  kilns  in  use  in  330  factories,  the  kind  of 
power  used  in  each,  whether  steam  or  horse  power,  the  process 
of  drying  employed,  whether  by  natural  or  artificial  heat,  or  by  a 
combination  of  both,  the  description  of  machines  used,  whether 
plunge  or  augur,  and-  the  total  product  for  the  year  of  the  steam  and 
horse  power  factories  respectively.  The  whole  number  of  kilns  for 
330  factories  is  676,  an  average  of  a  little  more  that  two  to  each 
factory.  This  would  indicate  at  least  1,100  kilns  in  the  State. 
Horse  power  is  used  in  but  61,  or  less  than  one-fifth  of  the  whole 
number  of  factories  reporting  in  1883. 

Many  of  these  announce  that  during  the  present  year  steam  power 
either  has  been  or  will  be  substituted.  If  we  compare  the  product  of 
the  steam  and  horse  power  factories  we  shall  find  a  still  lower  ratio. 
The  number  of  tile  made  by  the  steam  factories  was  101,392,228, 
by  the  horse  power  factories  8,444,165,  the  latter  being  only  7.7  per 
cent,  (or  one  fourteenth)  of  the  entire  product.  The  method  of  dry- 
ing by  natural  heat  only  is  employed  in  202  factories,  steam  heat 
only  is  used  in  37  factories,  and  furnace  heat  only,  in  12.  In  36 
both  natural  and  steam  heat  is  employed,  in  3,  steam  and  furnace 
heat,  and  in  9,  natural  and  furnace  heat.  In  by  far  the  greater 
number  of  factories  operated  during  the  summer  months  only,  natural 
heat  is  the  only  drying  agency  employed.

signed to  show  which  are  the  sizes  principally  in  use  and  demand, 
and  the  percentage  of  each  sizes  made  to  the  whole.  The  totals  are 
given  by  sizes  and  grouped  by  counties  and  the  relative  quantities 
of  the  several  sizes  are  shown  by  percentages.  The  results  may  be 
summarized  as  follows;  the  sizes  being  arranged  in  the  order  of 
the  number  manufactured :

All  the  firms  reporting  did  not  give  specific  analysis  of  their 
product  as  to  sizes  manufactured,  but  a  sufficient  number  did,  from 
sufficiently  separated  localities  to  illustrate  this  point  very  fully.

Table  VI. 

Table  VI  presents  a  view  of  the  growth  of  tile  making  in  Illinois 
from  1875  to  1884,  and  the  summaries  of  its  present  magnitude. 
The  aggregate  capital  invested,  and  the  aggregate  amount  of  the 
manufactured  product  of  380  factories  are  given  by  counties,  and 
the  presumptive  aggregate  capital  and  product  of  the  State  are  com- 
puted as  in  previous  tables,  assuming  the  whole  number  of  factor- 
ies to  be  526.  From  ten  counties  in  which  are  located  55  factories 
in  all,  no  reports  were  received.  In  the  case  of  these,  the  computa- 
tion has  been  based  on  the  average  for  the  entire  330  factories  whose 
statistics  are  known.  A  supplemental  list  of  these  counties,  with 
the  number  of  factories  in  each,  is  appended  to  the  table.  This  table 
then  presents  the  following  general  results  :  the  amount  of  capital  in- 
vested in  330  establishments  is  $2,381,751,  and  the  estimated  amount 
invested  in  this  industry  throughout  the  State  is  $3,794,000,  an  aver- 
age per  county  of  $50,587  or  per  factory  of  $7,213.  The  aggregate 
product  of  the  330  factories  is  109,836,393  tile,  and  the  computed 
product  for  the  State  176,962,821  tile,  equivalent  to  33,516  miles  of 
underground  drains.  This  product,  if  equally  apportioned,  would  be 
1,689,790  tile  for  each  of  the  counties  engaged  in  this  manufacture, 
and  332,838  for  each  factory.

NOTES  FROM  CORRESPONDENTS 


DESIRING  THE 


ESTABLISHMENT  OF  MORE  TILE  FACTORIES. 


As  an  addendum  to  the  foregoing,  space  is  given  to  the  following 
remarks  of  correspondents  expressive  of  the  need  for  tile  manufac- 
ture in  their  respective  localities : 

Prairie  Home,  Shelby  County. 

"There  are  no  persons  or  firms  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of 
drain  tile  nearer  than  seven  or  eight  miles  from  here,  though  this 
country  is  greatly  in  need  of  tile." 

Hiram  Johnson. 

Kockford,  Winnebago  County. 

"There  i3  no  tile  factory  in  this  county,  but  there  is  one  at  Still- 
man's  Valley  in  the  adjoining  county.  They  are  making  a  white 
and  very  hard  brick  at  one  place  in  this  county,  where  I  think  they 
might  make  excellent  tile." 

George  Tallock. 

Shiloh  Hill,  Eandolph  County. 

"Although  tile  are  very  much  needed  in  our  town,  there  is  no 
manufacture  of  the  kind  here." 

K.  E.  Looney. 

Burkville,  Monroe  County. 
"1  am    thoroughly  acquainted    with  this    county,  and   I  can  state 
definitely  that  there  is    not  a   drain  tile  made  in  it,  although  there 
are  plenty  used,  and  a  factory  would  have  all  it  could  do  to  supply 
the  home  demand." 

J.  H.  Jaenke. 

Altamont,  Effingham  County. 
"We  have  no  tile  factory  in  our  county,  but  need  one  very  much. 
I  think  it  a  good  opening." 

D.  F.  Piper. 

Sterling,  Whiteside  County. 
"There    is  no  one    manufacturing   drain    tile    in  this  vicinity,  but 
there  is  good  material  to  be  had  for  that  purpose." 

J.  A.  Morgan. 


24 

Manito,  Mason  County. 
''There  are  no   drain   tile  manufactured   here,  and   no  one  in  the 
business,  but  this  would  be  a  splendid   locality  for  it,  as  there  is  a 
great  quantity  needed." 

J .  A.  McComas. 
• 
Fredeeicksville,  Schuyler  County. 
"There   is  no  drain  tile  factory  in  this  town,  but  this  is  the  best 
location   for   one    in   the    State.     We    have    a   good  brick  yard  and 
stoneware  factory,  but  no  manufacture  of  tile." 

J.  F.  Bellomy. 

Hillsborough,  Montgomery  County. 

"There  are  no  tile  factories  in  this  township,  and  only  one  that 
I  know  of  this  county,  but  there  is  plenty  of  good  material,  and  a 
good  demand  in  this  locality." 

Thomas  Standring. 

Donovan,  Iroquois  County. 

"We  have  no  manufacture  of  drain  tile  in  this  township,  but  need 
one.  The  farmers  are  using  a  great  deal  of  tile  brought  from  other 
points." 

John  Nelson. 

Wayne,  DuPage  County. 

"We  have  no  tile  factory,  but  there  is  a  splendid  chance  here 
for  some  one  to  invest  in  that  business." 

William  Arens. 

Manteno,  Kankakee  County. 

"We  have  no  drain  tile  manufactory  in  our  town,  but  think  one 
would  pay  here,  as  it  would  have  a  large  tract  of  country  to  sup- 
ply, and  tile  is  very  much  in  demand." 

John  D.  Breen. 

Brownstown,  Fayette  County, 

"There  is  no  tile  manufactured  in  this  district,  but  a  good  firm 
could  do  a  thriving  business." 

T.  S.  Washburn. 

Vandalia,  Fayette  County. 

"There  is  no  drain  tile  made  in  this  county,  though  we  are  very 
much  in  need  of  drainage  for  our  lands." 

Charles  L.  Dinges. 

Panola,  Woodford  County. 

"No  tile  manufactured  in  this  town  or  in  the  country  tributary 
to  it." 

P.  M.  Evans.
